    Lenny Dykstra is one awful trader

    more info: from december 31, lenny's plan is to ride it til expiration: "want to live on the edge, you can follow me on a trip on the wild side and double-down. Anyone who still owns these options now is a major risk taker and has already decided to be in it for the possible flame-out in...

    Lenny Dykstra is one awful trader

    thanks for that. can you get a tick by tick on 1/6? if his loss was only 21550, then he would have had to sell them all at an average of 1.62.

    TV Show: Million Dollar Traders

    2nd EP, no real spoilers. best thing about this show is showing ordinary people going batty over small losses. the thing that's driving me crazy is taking longer-term strategies on fundamentals, and using them for short-term. they should have the announcer saying that's not the best way...

    Retailers will close 12,000 stores in 2009

    don't know how the accounting and valuation is on build a bear, but tons of people get gift cards, birthday parties, etc. there. that would be surprising to me.

    A 70k bet that I can't make a 50% gain in 2009

    heh...i don't do any of the crazy bets, just ones that are highly weighted in my favor. you can *definitely* do that number if you can trade prior to this. don't think of it as 50%...just think of it as a few hundred a day (to balance the down days) and keep sticking to the stops, and it...

    How to short stocks?

    bunch of wrong things above: first, i've been shorting junky ones for a while, and learned from following someone else, way back when, on SI. and he wasn't the first. so it IS doable, when done responsibly. however, it is NOT scalable. and it requires an incredible amount of...

    thinkorswim acquired by ameritrade.

    couple things: i'm one of the people who got spammed at ameritrade-only accounts...when do i get my $2? but i'm more hopeful that they can find out what *really* happened... ameritrade bought big easy investor (advanced analyzer) and problems happened with it soon after; no continuing...
